Saskatchewan Polytechnic has a student enrolment (full load equivalent) of 14,280 at its fours campuses, including Moose Jaw with 2,918 students with just under 900 graduates annually and employs about 300 people.
MOOSE JAW’S POLYTECHNIC PALLISER CAMPUS is a technical and trades college. Moose Jaw Palliser Campus graduates are highly trained in the areas of Engineering Technologies, Building Trades, and Business Administration. Other programs such as Food Services, Adult Basic Education and English as a Second Language are also offered. Starting in 2018 the school will offer an Alternative Energy Program, the first of its kind in Saskatchewan. The school offers a bachelor’s program and students can transition into University of Regina degree programs from Palliser Campus, receiving full credit for courses taken. Palliser Campus has the advantage of being the only campus in the province to offer co-op education work experience programs. The Cooperative Education program, in which business and technology students gain on-the job training at area businesses and industries, is highly successful.
